When customers need to choose a translation company for a translation project, the quality of the translation is undoubtedly one of their biggest concerns. High-quality translations will increase the approval rate of documents, win the trust of customers, and establish long-term cooperative relationships; while poor translation quality will lead to loss of cooperation opportunities and damage to one's own reputation. Therefore, translation quality is crucial to a translation company.
What factors may potentially affect translation quality?
1. Text factors
Linguistic obstacles such as semantic ambiguity and complex syntax in the translation will affect the quality of translation. Differences in grammatical rules and structures between different languages sometimes cause the translator to make adjustments to the original text. In addition, the expression, style and style of the translation are also important factors affecting the quality of translation.
2. Cultural factors
Different ethnic groups have unique cultural backgrounds, and these cultural differences are also reflected in their respective languages. Correctly understanding the cultural connotation of the original text and analyzing cultural differences are the prerequisites for achieving equivalent translation.
3. Translator factors
The translation results largely depend on the translator's personal interests, hobbies, language abilities and experience. The stronger the translator's problem-solving ability and overall quality, the higher the translation quality.
How do we judge the quality of translations produced by translation companies?
1. Trial translation: Through trial translation, you can initially judge the quality of the translation company's translation. Particularly effective for translation of small files, but riskier for high-volume tasks.
2. On-site inspection: The quality of the translation can usually be accurately reflected after the finished product is released. Customers can make preliminary judgments based on the translation company's size, staffing and processes, but on-site inspections are more reliable.
3. Translation in stages: For major translation tasks, translation can be carried out in stages, and the quality of subsequent translations can be judged by the quality of the early translations.
4. Final translation: The most effective method may be to first let the translation company officially translate a small document and complete it within one day, and then check the accuracy and standardization of the translation to judge the quality of the translation company.
